Is this true? If so, how sad that biotech policy is being set by fools.
a) It should be obvious to anybody that humanity is created by brains, not by
milk-producing ability. This bull's alteration wouldn't make it human in any
way.
b) If you *did* manage to give an animal genes that made it partly human,
then logically it should *gain* rights - like the right not to be
involuntarily sterilized, amongst other more important ones.
